Thanks, for that site.I had a few problems with the info on my grgrgrandmother's information. Deborah Mott is given as her mother; however, Mary Mott was born in 1812 and Deborah Mott died in 1801.From some distant relatives I have that her mother was Mary Brownell.Hannah Brownhill Mott, Willett's second wife died in 1812.I am now trying to figure out if Brownhill and Brownell are really the same surname and some how misspelled.Willett's third wife was name Mary.I'm not really sure who my Mary's mother was.I suspect it was Hannah and perhaps she died in childbirth or shortly thereafter since she died in the same year in which Mary was born.Does anyone know where I might confirm the mother's name?I noticed that Willett had a son named Sylvanus.My grgrandfather, son of Mary Mott Blair Prevost and Joseph Prevost was name Sylvanus Hamilton Prevost.It was really good to find the origin of his name.
